Candle march in Old City in support of farmers
Description
HYDERABAD: Youth congress workers organised a candle march in support of agitating framers, in Old City of Hyderabad on Friday night. Youth Congress, City Congress and Pradesh Congress workers gathered in front of the Charminar, where they raised anti-BJP slogans and slogans against PM Modi. They sought immediate roll back of the contentious farm laws. “We have gathered here to express our solidarity and support for the protesting farmers in Delhi. We want the PM Modi regime to come out with effective solutions to the problem faced by the farmers,” senior congress leader Moosa Quadri said. Taking strong exception against chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and BJP president Bandi Sanjay, Youth Congress leaders alleged that they had indirect ties and had nothing to do with the farmers’ problems. “We want to give a message to the stubborn government that our support and agitation will continue. Youth Congress is always with farmers in India,’’ Sailender, a member of Youth Congress said.
